Chapelford Village Primary School
About Chapelford Village Primary School
Chapelford Village Primary School is a state primary in Warrington that is effectively full, with 633 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630. That tight fit makes sense given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 167 applications for 73 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.29, and every one of those 66 first-preference families was offered a spot. The school serves a noticeably mixed catchment — 16% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national primary average of around 23% but sits below the Warrington average, suggesting a broadly balanced intake. The school is non-religious and co-educational, taking children from age 4 to 11. With no nursery provision, entry is at Reception, and the oversubscription picture means families living close to the school will need to prioritise it on their application.
